TOOLING
Often a product requires a new mold and 3D Plastics is prepared to assist you in creating the mold to your requirements. We work with local and offshore companies in order to produce the highest quality and most cost effective molds.
If a mold exists, we can determine what is required to make it perform for both our customer and 3D. A Computer Aided Design (CAD) will definitely help in designing the quality molds required to produce high quality parts.
Mold Classification
Class 101
Cycles: 1,000,000 or more
Built for extremely high production. This is the highest priced mold and is made with only the highest quality materials.
Class 102
Cycles: Not exceeding 1,000,000
Medium to high production mold, good for abrasive materials and/or parts requiring close tolerances. This is a high quality, fairly high priced mold.
Class 103
Cycles: Under 500,000
Medium production mold. This is a very popular mold for low to medium production needs. Most common price range.
Class 104
Cycles: Under 100,000
Low production mold. Used only for limited production preferably with non-abrasive materials. Low to moderate price range.
Class 105
Cycles: Not exceeding 500
Prototype only. This mold will be constructed in the least expensive manner possible to produce a very limited quality of prototype parts.
